Nightmares of the mind...

As i sit alone and think, i get barraged with intense thoughts

sabotaged by pain i saw, i withdraw from the world or just the people who make me sick,

run from those who make me tic because my anger has become a bomb with immense force.

Yet still i can love, and appreciate beauty, even when that bomb blows without remorse

i can still show love as beautiful as a field of gorse so endorse my love, don't label me as dangerous,

i just require maintenance, playfulness, faithfulness, i just need my patroness, for now i wait with anxiousness.

For the days that go past my heart feels more and more harassed, forced to bask in my pain, since there's a grasp on my brain.

I yank and pull away but this hold on my emotions is beyond comprehension, its like my very mind has become my prison,

and my self criticism keeps me too weak to break out, so i shout hoping that someone can hear my screams..

Imprisoned inside my own mind... Please someone tell me this is a dream. - Devonte Mack

This is not a dream

I like this poem, it runs like a masquerade parallel to life, in which case you have grown stronger than your self doubt and there is no need to scream, for your voice now travels the world with but a whisper. You are better served to pen and paper rather than emotional hard time.


this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.
